Thank you...

I know I'm the infamous newb that has been made fun of, but I wanted to thank you all for the support this morning.  When I woke up and found out what happened, I had no idea if DH was ok or what really was going on.  Seeing the support was helpful in getting me through the morning.  DH got home 3 hours after his shift ended.  He has really been rocked by this incident.  This is actually his 3rd active shooter incidence that he has been directly involved in.  Though this one was less directly involved.  The other two, he was shot at and encountered the gunman directly.  This has been extremely hard for him (and I) to process, he thinks he's jinxed.  Please pray for the lives that were lost today and that our community can move through this.

Merry Christmas.

Happy holidays to you and your family! Glad to hear DH is okay. He is one of the heroes out there risking his life for others. We all appreciate his service to others!

So glad to hear the YH is safe...so sorry he's had a hard time of it lately.  I couldn't imagine being a LEO and having to face those challenges.

Hope you and your family enjoy your Christmas and it's a lot less stressful than your Christmas Eve!

It's the nature of the bump to raz a little, and as long as people go with it, it dies down soon enough. Don't worry about that aspect.

And again, I'm glad your DH is home safely now and I hope he can move past this with some peace. Is there any way he could do some ongoing therapy? It never hurts and it sounds like it could help if he's had several incidents and is understandably shaken up.

I am thankful your DH is ok and pray for the families involved.  DH and I are both in law enforcement.  I also dispatch.  DH was on the scene where they encountered two active shooters and the deputy in front of him was shot and had critical injuries.  He has now fully recovered and doing fine.  When the incident happened, I was dispatching and did not know who had been shot.  It was the longest 10 minutes of my life.  Thinking of you and your community.  Merry Christmas.

I'm only guessing at what you posted earlier, but T & P's to the families of the fallen, it's been passed around here already. As soon as the news hit DH's phone was binging, his buddies alerted everyone not on shift. They always say an extra prayer. Might not be their own department, but it never matters. Still their boys, kwim.

Glad your dh is okay, give him an extra hug, and tell him the guys out west already put the shout out with prayers and thanks.

I'm so glad he's home safe. I'm so sorry for you. Don't mind any teasing or anything, everyone gets mocked a bit at times.

I'll be praying. Will he get the chance for therapy? Give him extra hugs for us.

Baby on the way!

Glad to hear he made it home safely.  I was hoping for this update when I logged on.  Take care, give him a hug for me (non creepily, of course), and try to relax and enjoy Christmas.

So glad he is safe... I posted on your other thread as well- I'm local and my friend's parents lost their house in this. They lived next door to this freak.

I agree for your DH to get some help if he needs it- it's not something a spouse can really help him through. 

T&P going out to you, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
